Young job, college candidates find opportunities

Resource fair held in Harrisburg Saturday

Young job and college candidates got the chance to show off their skills at the 2nd annual Dauphin County job, internship and resource fair at the Greater Zion Missionary Baptist Church.

Schools and companies like Penn State, HACC, Temple University, Comcast and Giant were represented at the fair.

The county says young people need to see just how many opportunities are available for them.

"All of the community, the faith base, the formal systems, the businesses and the school districts have come together to show our young people it's so important that we work together as a system of caring people to show our young people that we are here for them and what they can get from us," said Helen Spence, Dauphin County community coordinator.

Computer labs were on-site for applicants to immediately apply for jobs.
